Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves
There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
